Roman Research: 1. Industries were small compared to agriculture and mining there industries used their resources to build and grow. 2. After agriculture, mining was Rome’s most important industry they had many resources in many country’s but they used them to fast either for buildings or crafts. 3. The miners labored in cramped and unsanitary conditions, chained together were they could die easily. 4. Slaves, condemned criminals, and prisoners of war worked in the mines once they stopped concurring they stopped getting workers to work in those horrible conditions. 5. When the romans stopped expanding they stopped and limited their resource intake and money intake. 6. The amount of people in the Roman Empire and each one had a job or were on welfare so each person needed silver coins so the mines were over worked and were bound to be out of silver soon. 7. The romans grew too fast and too large before they could set up a systematic way of taking care of their resources and making people work for resources they just expanded and were always living on a thin line of no resources and just enough. 8. Their main workforce was slaves when they stopped concurring they stopped the workforce and put the romans that didn’t have jobs or did not know how to work in those conditions so their resources intake slowed all because they did not try to teach the proper ways of different skills like mining, building, farming, and herding those are skills that can be perfected. 9. A serious problem in urban areas in Roman times was lead poisoning. Roman water pipes were made of lead and left little amounts of led in the water. Led is a poison and when you drink it day after day, it accumulates in the body and causes lead poisoning.

Dear, Mr. Proctor
I am Jarrett and I am a seventh grade student at Nagel Middle School in Cincinnati, OH and I am seeking your expertise. I am doing a project over whether our nowadays materials and ways could save the Ancient Roman Empire. Now if I could ask you some questions.
1. What resources got overused and depleted first?
2. What were the main resources that depleted or were overused, which contributed to the down fall of the Roman Empire and why?
3. What techniques did the Romans use for mining and farming?
4. Why did the silver mines run out of silver?
I thank you for your time. If this is not your specialty can you please point me in the right direction of someone to go to? Thank you and I hope for you to have a good day.
